Ice Cream Anyone? SOL25 Day 13

Cold, creamy, sweet–a delight for both tongue and tummy. I love ice cream! I eat ice cream in the summer, the perfect cooling dessert and in the winter too–even if it makes me shiver and goosebumps grow tall like mountains on my arms. It is definitely my sweet treat of choice.

Chunky and crunchy–rocky road or chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Fruity and tart–rainbow sherbet, raspberry gelato. Stain your tongue and mouth colorful–blue raspberry syrup on an ice cream-filled shave ice.

I can push away the elegant, rich desserts. Cheesecakes, mousses, creme brulee. I can skip cookies and cakes–even a chocolaty, caramely, peanuty Snickers bar (unless it’s the novelty ice cream variety). But ice cream? I can eat ice cream for dinner!

Need cheering up? Ice cream is the answer. Time for a celebration? Bring on the ice cream. Something to soothe a scratchy throat? You know the answer–it’s always ice cream!

Do you have a favorite sweet treat that is nearly impossible to say no to? Or a best ice cream ever? I’d love to know your sweet story!

Fountain of Youth

Word association, make a list…it all seems too simple. But it’s not. It’s actually genius! Many thanks to the folks over at Ethical ELA and the Open Write for yet another day of inspiration. Today’s prompt took me to a favorite ice cream place in Ventura…and then back in time.

Fountain of Youth

My tongue tingles as we drive by

McConnells might just be

The best ice cream ever

Pick your treat

Creamy, cool

Flavors:

Santa Barbara strawberry

Eureka lemon and marionberry

Jostles memories

And I become a child again

Time stops

And I’m in the Thrifty

On tippy toes

Picking my scoop

5 cents for a single

Dare I splurge

Spending 15 cents for a triple?

No Cheese for Me: NPM22 Day 22

The #verselove prompt at Ethical ELA today is All Things Cheese. But, although I like cheese…I don’t love cheese. So today I decided to write my poem about something I do love: ice cream. Just a Haiku to ease into the weekend.
